If you know one please gladly share them to us... for me... it has to be
Spear Holding Female Protagonist... its rare for n anime to have a girl protagonist holding a spear... normally anime girls would hold a sword/gun.

ikkitousen

Seirei no Moribito

3 animes so far... ikkitousen was already mentioned earlier...

maybe 2 because the girl in your 2 pics and the 1 in my ikkitousen are the same person just different animes

still count that as 3... they are on different anime.... but same character outline!

I thought his kind of character was rare..........he was strong but not too strong ...and smart.....he was just a new kind of character i dont know why.........maybe it was the metal arm and leg .....but i thought he was just a cool character........

Wherein the protagonist is the villain
and the antagonist is the hero!

I don't think really... but that type of character is not rare.. Its classified as a Anti-Hero and it is somewhat common too. In which you are the main protagonist but you somewhat do evil. (Examples: Light, Ikuto, Lelouch, Natsume Hyuuga, Aoshi Shinomori, etc)

Who the hell is natsume hyuuga?! I've heard of Neji and Hinata Hyuuga but not that! Or unless it's on another anime.

he's from gakuen alice... well he's not entirely evil but he's doing bad stuff for the school's organization he's like a more tone down version of Ikuto.

think of 10 of the most unpopular characters you can find, then determine from there their unappealing characteristics. most of the rare kind of characters have those.

this is a theory, but I think rare kinds of characters became like that because of their unpopularity ... that's about it. this topic should change to "unpopular unique characters." that's rare, usual unpopular characters are those who were recycled so much it looks awkward and awful... ie. gundams (sorry for the fans) - i liked the franchise, but it has to stop producing more, i actually find gundams w/ forcefields (gundam 00) very awful and awkward. where was the semi-realism that appealed me(my faves were the original and W)?
